The Rumps is a rugged headland on the north coast of Cornwall, England, marked by a distinctive rugged cliff face and a series of rocky outcrops that stretch out to sea. The cliffs are approximately 100 feet high and are composed of dark grey shale, which contrasts with the surrounding green countryside. The area is a haven for seabirds, with species such as guillemots, gulls, and cormorants nesting on the rocky outcrops. The Rumps is also a popular spot for walkers and nature lovers, offering stunning views of the coastline and the opportunity to explore the surrounding countryside.
Really enjoyed the trek to this location. It was a wonderful day. Access if via the National Trust car park which is pay and display, unless you are a member (other parking places may be available). Great views can sit at the top and take in the wonderful scenery. Watch the boats, kayaks or paddleboarders go by.
Phenomenal walk! The walking path winds along the coast line. We parked at the led mines and walked to the furthest point for the view. Back and forth took us about 90 minutes with two kids. Views are spectacular. We even got to see a seal.
A very nice place if you like nature and hiking. Some parts can be a bit difficult to access, and the paths can be challenging, so be careful. It takes some time to actually get there, but it is worth it.
Stunning scenery, very rugged coastline. A great walk from the National Trust car park at Pentireglaze. Well worth the walk, & can be a circular walk too. Highly recommended.
Always a wonderful place to visit come rain or shine. Seals can usually be found here in late spring. You can make a whole day of it by parking at Lundy Bay or park at the old lead Mine car park and do it in a couple of hours. Quite steep paths in places and you are exposed at times but worth the effort.
Incredible scenery (as is the entire Cornish coastline!), but The Rumps is well worth a visit, especially during a clear sunny day. It takes just over an hour from Polzeath beach along the South West coastline path. The Rumps reminded us of a sleeping dragon, with the peaks emerging from the sea.
